About me
Psychotherapy can be a broad term - I offer first and foremost a safe safe for you to be yourself, without judgment and with compassion, where we can begin to unravel some of your feelings. We don't get the chance very often to really think about how we are doing, even though we might ask each other several times a day. How many times do we respond other than the "Fine, thanks! You?"
Therapy is a place for me to ask "How are you?" and for you to really think about the answer.
I offer talking therapy, with a psychodynamic focus – this is the understanding that our actions in the present can be based on unconscious processes, often formed in our early childhood.
As well as talking therapy, if you feel stuck with words, or just tired of talking, we can use more creative methods to gently explore your emotions.
Creative psychotherapy means we can work with talking therapy in our sessions and also use art work, play, stories and movement. Dramatherapy is a branch of creative therapies. Working creatively can often reach the parts of the brain that talking can’t, allowing for a different type of opportunity for discovery. It can also be lots of fun for both adults and children!
